I created a WhatsApp group and invited all members

The activities were based on this home safety pack which is downloadable at the bottom of this page.

It includes a wordsearch, spot-the-error picture and some valuable home safety advice. the Serco Rail resource pack provides activities for Cubs to complete and gives advice around personal safety

Instructions

Ask the parents to either print out packs or download them so they can be worked on digitally.

There are 7 activities in this whole pack. We only used activity 1 this week. That was enough to fill an hour.

I posted a series of photo of the activities over the meeting and the youngsters posted pictures of what they were doing. There are a bunch of photos below of their handywork.

Activity 1

We discussed different types of fires and asked them to visually show their understanding. Some did this on the computer, some drew it by hand and sent a photo.
We talked about different fire dangers in the home.

Here are some of their pictures…
